3. Kagiso Rabada:
English pitches, seaming conditions, green turfs…!!! What can a bowler ask better than that? But, surprisingly, which is a shock to many, Kagiso Rabada failed to utilise those conditions. Though he was threatening, he failed to take wickets for the team, which saw South Africa losing quite a few games.
Rabada was able to pick just 11 wickets in the tournament at an average of more than 36, which is poor for a bowler of his standard. He is still young and should be able to get more opportunities at cricket’s biggest stage to display his talent in the future.
Alongside Rabada, Lungi Ngidi also failed to deliver while Dale Steyn ruled out of the tournament.
